Immunochemical Studies on the family of Biotin Binding Proteins
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-29)Investigations detailed in this thesis constitue a part of continuing programme of research work undertaken in this laboratory on vitamin binding proteins. Avidin from the chicken egg white, streptavidin &om the bacterium ... -
Immunomodulatory Activity of Glycodelin : Implications in Allograft Rejection
(2018-06-15)Glycodelin, a homodimeric glycoprotein belonging to the lipocalin superfamily, is synthesised predominantly by the cells of the reproductive system of certain primates including humans. Of the four different known glycoforms ... -
Immunomodulatory effects of 7-hydroxy frullanolide, a plant-based sesquiterpene lactone, in inhibiting immune cell responses and roles of disease and vaccination outcomes on Covid-19 mortality
Immunomodulation is a process by which the immune response of the host is either enhanced or suppressed due to various factors which either protects or makes the host more susceptible to particular diseases. Immunomodulators ... -
Immunoneutralization Of Cytotoxic Abrin : Insights Into Mechanisms And Therapy
(2015-12-02)Type II Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs), commonly known as A/B toxins are heterodimers comprising of a catalytically active A chain, an RNA N-glycosidase which inhibits protein synthesis and a lectin-like B chain ... -
Implications of Soluble Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases in Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis in Yeast and Plants
(2018-04-12)Lipids are stored in a cell for providing energy. The main advantages of storing lipids over carbohydrates like glycogen is that, lipids yield more energy after oxidation because they represent the highly reduced form of ... -
Improvement in the nutritive value of tomatoes : vitamin A potent tomatoes and some aspects of carotenoid and vitamin A
Chapter 1 Different tomato varieties that are commonly cultivated in our country differ in their yield, size and shape of the fruit, disease resistance etc. However, all of them contain very little amount of carotene, ... -
In vitro studies on the biosynthesis of allergens of parhenium hysterophorus and cytotoxicity of parthenin
Parthenium hysterophorus, like several other members of the Compositae, causes allergic contact dermatitis and hay-fever in humans. Besides this, it is also ecologically dominant and is toxic to livestock. The allergic ... -
In vivo mechanistic insights into the trans-splicing based expression of Hsp90 in Giardia lamblia
Giardia lamblia, a simple yet intriguing protozoan parasite, challenges conventional paradigms in gene expression through its unique mechanism of trans-splicing for Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90). As a primitive organism, ... -
Inactivation of HMGCoA reductase by disulfides hydrogenperoxide silatrame and ubiquinone
Abstract not available -
Indoeacetaldoxime hydro-lyase of gibberella fujikoroi
In the following pages, the work described in the preceding chapters has been summarized. The conversion of IAOX to IAN was shown to be an enzymatic process. Culture conditions for the growth of Gibberella fujikuroi ... -
Infection of Human Cell Lines by Japanese Encephalitis Virus : Increased Expression and Release of HLA-E, a Non-classical HLA Molecule
(2018-04-24)Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) causes viral encephalitis in new born and young adults that is prevalent in different parts of India and other parts of South East Asia with an estimated 6000 deaths per year. JEV is a ... -
Influence of vitamin B12 on the nutritive value of vegetable proteins
The work reported in this thesis relates to two main aspects: (a) To confirm and extend the finding that vitamin B?? counteracts the adverse effects of the tryptic and growth inhibitors present in raw soyabean. (b) To ... -
Influnce of Vitamin B12 On the nutritive value of soyabean protein
Of the various nutrient factors that go to provide better health through letter nutrition, dietary protein is perhaps the most important and requires careful consideration. There is hardly any physiological function that ... -
Insights into life-cycle stage transition of Trichomonas vaginalis and advancement in its diagnosis
Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of the most common non-viral, sexually transmitted disease (STD) in humans known as trichomoniasis. WHO estimates more than 270 million cases of ... -
Insights Into Oxidative Folding Of Retinol Binding Protein In The Endoplasmic Reticulum : A Study In Isolated Microsomes
(2009-04-30)The central role played by the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in the correct folding and assembly of secretary and membrane proteins cannot be overstated. As the first compartment in the secretary pathway, it is responsible ... -
Insights into the Differential Cytotoxicity of Abrin and Design of a Vaccine Candidate against the Toxin
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) from plants, fungi or bacteria are extremely lethal due to their N-glycosidase activity on eukaryotic ribosomal RNA. As the name indicates, these toxins inactivate ribosomes; thereby ...
